New dark open-world adventure Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon arriving on Steam Early Access
Awaken Realms together with studio Questline have revealed a release window for the atmospheric dark open-world RPG Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon. The game will enter Steam Early Access on March 30, giving players a first chance to explore a sprawling island fantasy steeped in myth and danger. A fresh trailer accompanies the announcement, inviting fans to glimpse the moody landscapes and ominous mood that define the project.
In the inaugural build, players will be able to roam a single expansive region titled Horns of the South. This area will feature a core narrative arc alongside a suite of side quests that naturally weave exploration and decision making into the player experience. The early access portion is planned to offer a gameplay duration of roughly 15 to 20 hours for players who invest in the main storyline and its numerous optional paths. Core gameplay systems, including combat, crafting, dialogue choices, and quest progression, will be present, with full voice acting across major characters to enhance immersion. The developers emphasize ongoing optimization and a focus on maintaining a smooth, stable experience as the game evolves through feedback and updates.
The setting centers on Avalon, an island whose peace was once secured when King Arthur freed its shores from fearsome monsters. Decades later, the realm fractures into new threats and internal strife, challenging players to navigate a world where legend and danger intersect at every turn. The narrative promises morally nuanced decisions, branching outcomes, and a blend of tactical exploration with strategic combat in a richly atmospheric environment.
It remains unclear when the full project will be available beyond the early access phase, as the team continues to refine systems, expand content, and respond to community feedback. The announcement underscores the ambition to deliver a polished experience at launch while keeping a steady cadence of updates that broaden the playable map and deepen the story, all set within a world inspired by Arthurian myth and dark fantasy motifs.
